Be of good cheer!

Just how long did it take this spider to create a web? It even looks like there are two webs side by side. So if the fly or other insect misses the first trap, they will surely get caught in the second, right? Not necessarily. Many of us will toil till our backs break and wake up one morning to find our work destroyed. We are told to be of good cheer in John 16:33. In some translations such as the NIV it says take heart and still in others the word be courageous or have confidence is used. So being cheerful is to be confident that the Lord knows you are having troubles. He guards our hearts from despair!
